Below you can find MML Plumbing’s experts’ advice, on how to solve your water leak issues.
How can I detect water leaks in my house?
In the majority of situations, the water pipe running into the house is regulated for several reasons. When you notice a water leak you may want to make an appointment with a professional plumber, ASAP. You are right, the sooner you fix the leak, the less damage is happening in your home.
But there is a very important thing to know when a water leak occurs:
If the burst pipe or buried water line is internal you will need a professional plumber. When calling out a plumber with no special tools, you will end up either looking at the patchy wall together or ripping off the entire ceiling or wall to find anything. That isn’t wise.
We are dedicated to not doing damage to your property! That is why we are using advanced leak detection methods, which are non-destructive, and still finding the water source, and then moving forward to fixing it.

Recognising water leaks at home?
If a leaking pipe is not fixed quickly, it can damage your home and your health, since moisture can encourage mould development. However, you often do not notice visible signs of a leaking area until you have already suffered thousands of damage. Therefore, you should be vigilant about it.
How to detect a water leak outside or in the garden?
If a water leak exists in an underground building or an outside building turn down the stop co*ck to keep water from entering your home and check the water meter movement. If the meter doesn’t move, the leaks may exist within a pipe inside the home. If your leak is inside, start to find hidden water patches on the wall or ceiling.

Common places for water leaks
If you’re unsure whether you can spot leaks, it’s worth looking at your bathroom or kitchen. Also, the boiler can lose pressure, inside the walls the cold mains, a garden tap, a leaking toilet, a radiator, and other leaks can be found.
Leaks in the garden
It makes sense to have a beautiful lawn if the area around it looks greener (and grows quicker than the remainder) or it indicates if there is water leakage. In extreme cases, a puddle might appear below the water supply line to the ground.
Appliances and Fixtures
Ensure that the cabinets under the sink are clean when the water meter test shows leakage. You can have a small leak, or a slow leak caused by a faulty toilet tank too. You will also need to look for puddles around tubs, toilets or shower walls. If you find the puddle, disconnect your water supply valve (shut off valve) and call a plumber.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hidden water leaks and how can I identify them?
A hidden water leak can include unexplained increases in water bills, damp or discoloured spots on walls or ceilings, musty odours, mould or mildew growth, or sounds of running water when no fixtures are in use. To identify hidden leaks, you can perform a simple water meter test by shutting off all water sources and monitoring the meter for any movement. Additionally, professional water leak detection services can use specialized tools and techniques to accurately identify and locate hidden leaks.
Is it possible to find a water leak that is not visible to the naked eye?
Yes, it is possible to find a water leak that is not visible to the naked eye. Our plumbing company employ specialized equipment and techniques specifically designed to detect and locate a hidden water leak.
What are the methods used to locate undetectable leaks?
To locate an undetectable water leak, advanced techniques like acoustic water leak detection, camera inspection, and tracer gas detection are used. Acoustic water leak detection uses specialized equipment to pinpoint the water leak. Camera inspection involves using cameras to visually inspect the area behind the walls. Tracer gas detection uses hydrogen gas that is injected into the heating system, which can be detected if there are any leaks present.
